Do you think it's possible we'll see the Galaxy Note released with Verizon wireless in the near future? Maybe Q1 ? I do not understand Verizon's business strategy behind this I hate it!
I'd like to be optimistic and say it will, but the odds are that it won't. The Note is a GSM device; Verizon would have to request a CDMA version, and I can't see the odds of that being too high in the near future.
The Galaxy SII got a CDMA variant, but only because it's Samsung's flagship device, and even that took approximately six months. The Note's size limits it to a more niche market.
No it is unlikely that you will see the Galaxy Note on the Verizon any time in the near future. They have plenty of new devices they've already launched along with the upcoming Galaxy Nexus to be thinking about launching the Galaxy Note as well right now.
Also, you shouldn't use an explanation point in your subject header when asking a question. It implies that your stating a fact about the Galaxy Note and Verizon Wireless and was the reason i even clicked the thread .
I don't see this coming out in the US at all anytime soon let alone Verizon
I am in agreement with the other postings, Both the Carriers and Samsung are really missing the boat not giving us this device before Christmas. More than likely it is all based on business modeling .........meaning........ we need to sell xxx-amt of the sgs2 or other phones then toss us this afterwards. I is rumored that we will see a USA version in Q1........ but with Samsung's record on meeting deadlines that could mean August.......
I cant for the life of me figure out why anyone would want this phone on a US carrier iteration with slower updates and paying more for your whole phone+plan combo on a contract...

Well, if you're not on AT&T you don't have a choice but to hope for a US version as imports won't work.
so what do you guys think, just go with nexus for now & wait for the g-note when it arrives? if it arrives.
Yes. If anything, you can sell your Nexus when the Note is released, if it is released at all.
Coming to AT&T, hopefully early next year. http://phandroid.com/2011/09/30/sam...sses-through-fcc-headed-to-the-north-america/

Obviously you are correct,
but yet again I am quite confused as to why anyone would think that verizon would get an GSM only phone when they famously passed up on the GSII because they were getting the nexus.
GOOD NEWS!!! just walked into tmobile and they told me the note 4 will be out on the 9th!!! he put me on the list and said he will be calling me the night before to come get them!!!

The 9th would be awesome but on the website it's saying October.
Could it be October 9th instead?

Those who pre-register will be among the first to know about the availability and get pre-order information for the new Galaxy Note 4, which will be available in T-Mobile stores in October, and the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge, which will arrive at T-Mobile later this fall.
Really debating if I should upgrade from my Note 3. I have one more JUMP until April *the old JUMP where you upgrade twice a year*. I would like to see the Note 4 in person before deciding.
it'll probably be on the 9th, but in October...
It would be nice if it is the 9th of this month.
I live in GA. Where does T-mobile ship their phone from?
Yeah most likely the 9th of October. The T-Mobile Uncarrier 7.0 event is the 10th of September so I doubt they would release it before that.
Or would they? Nah

Samsung specifically said October. I really don't understand these rumors ppl come up with. I didn't hear Samsung say "with the exception of T- mobile USA it will be September"!!!!
He might be confusing the fact that T-Mobile will allow the public to view the Note 4 at specific locations. September 9th being one of those dates.
Really stupid question
Ok so we that have the Note 3 being the hlte...mine being hltetmo or sm-n900t can anyone tell me what the t-mobile Note4 will be in regards to model? I'm pretty sure the model # will be sm-n910t but what will be the codename? I'm bored and trying to do some build prop stuff to make my my Note3 think it's a Note4. .yea I'm bored.lol changed to n910t already but need the codename like hlte.
When I had a rom (forgot which) once antutu thought my Note3 was an S5...I'm trying to do the same but with it thinking I have a Note4. Lol

For what? The demos or the release?
The Note 4 is not making it to a September release. As I posted above directly from T-Mobile, the Note 4 will be out in October.
If I'm not mistaken it hasn't even past FCC stages. No way in heck its 9/9...that would have been WAY too smart and strategic of Samsung.

I could care less about lollipop honestly. My Note 4 is butter.
Doesn't anyone read anymore? By that I mean the history of US carrier updates vs. international updates. We go through this EVERY OS upgrade. International phones are unlocked with no carrier bloat or needed approvals. Samsung can push the OS updates right to them or through Kies. The US Carriers receive the proposed update from Samsung, it then gets a pile of bloat that the carrier wants added to it, it goes back to Samsung for that and Samsung testing, then sent to the US Carrier for testing....IF...IF all is well, then the carrier then decides when is the best time to push out the update...maybe it is strategically approximated just AFTER a new phone comes out hoping people will rush to get the new device already updated....maybe it would be a slow period when they know they can dedicate their customer service to anyone out there having problems with the OTA...bottom line is it takes quite some time after the international phones get their update before any US Carrier sees it. And luckily for you guys it is usually Sprint and T-Mobile that stay ahead of that curve...my guess is the locked bootloaders and security on the other 2 carriers slows them down.
I Think you know already that no one reads anymore!
I doubt anyone reads anymore lol , its the same drill year in year out .

Show me the Ota
the latest flavor of Google's mobile operating system is now available for the GS5 in Poland, blog site SamMobile said Wednesday. Poland has been used by mobile device makers as a starting point to test out new Android updates before it spreads around the world. As such, the Polish launch is a good sign that Lollipop should soon start to pop up in other regions.
The Polish version of the Galaxy S5 has the same model number as the version used in Europe, according to blog site SlashGear, which means European users could be next on the list. Samsung is also likely to launch Android 5.0 in its home base of South Korea at some point in the near future.
A similar scenario has played out with LG's G3 smartphone. Owners of the phone residing in Poland were first on the list to receive a bite of Lollipop. Just a couple of weeks later, G3 owners in South Korea started seeing the update appear on their devices. Android 5.0 could reach GS5 owners in other regions before the month and year are over.
The US is a different story, however. Android updates in the US can take awhile as they have to be tested by not only the device makers but also the mobile carriers who must also certify and plan the rollout. As such, Galaxy S5 owners in the US are unlikely to get a lick of Lollipop until 2015.

Yes. Sprint got it a month ago.
I was thinking that it was taking abnormally long too, but since AT&T and T-Mo haven't gotten it yet, it makes me wonder. Especially since part of T Mobile's Note 4s have it and the others don't. (The ones with a different model number have them, but the original model numbers don't.)
Perhaps they are fine tuning stuff for the Qualcomm models and used Sprint as a guinea pig since Sprint barely has any subscribers anymore, it probably makes a great lab rat!

It is quite possible they are just going straight to Marshmellow. T-Mobile announced 6.0 update soon, perhaps AT&T and Verizon are doing the same.

I don't think so! I believe that we won't get 6.0 update in 2015. It's most likely that US carriers (VZW, ATT, TMB, and USC) will follow the international variants and push 5.1.1 update in 2015 (probably, it's due in October) and wait too long for the next big thing (M) sometime in 2016, after releasing it for the 2015 flagships (S6 and its family) in the next few months. However, I hope you're right.
Verizon always seems to be last and not fair to the older phones in the cue. To me we paid out our cash way before the S6 owners , no offense. I think the S4 will be the cut off so, why not be fair and start from that. Verizon, at least on the phone and in the stores, always bring up loyalty, show it!
But I wonder if it has anything to do that Verizon is a CDMA system

Leaks seem to be a thing of the past...rarely see them anymore. The 2 new nexus devices won't ship for another 3-4 weeks and that is more or less the official unveiling of 6.0, even though other Nexus devices are getting updates starting now. Then about a month after that you will see other devices getting updated. Samsung has to incorporate TW, HTC has to incorporate Sense 7, LG - LG Home, so those will take a little longer.

Anyone else tired of waiting. PLN beta is soooooo bad. Everyday I think about going back to 6.0.1 but I get so lazy lol. Nougat couldn't come soon enough. My phone freezes multiple times a day this last 7.0 beta is so terrible. Hurry up Sammy
Came here to post this exact thing. This wait is ridiculous.
Bull **** how long we are having to wait! Lol
waiting for this update to try the s7 edge.. In the meantime, enjoying the LG V20
We buy these phones to have a premium experience and they already rolled out N to entry level and mid level devices...Samsung won't ever learn. These phones are the slowest for updates. Ever since the S4.

Indeed! I've been using the high end Galaxy phones and tablets since the early days, and they've consistently screwed us on updates. One thing we can count on is that Samsung will give us the updates last, if we get them at all.
Yeah I'm not sure I'm going to get th s8, although sprint has me on the galaxy forever plan, I can get a new one every year and trade in my current one. I was really banking on google bringing the pixel to all carriers but these butt heads went Verizon only or buy unlocked. Maybe the next pixel phone will find its way on all carriers so we can lease it.
Apparalently the next Pixel may have waterproofing, but no edge. But tempting becuase of how bad Samsung is with keeping their devices up to date.

I'm not sure. I was on T-Mobile, sprint had a switch to sprint and we cut your bill in half promotion. So they cut my bill in half, took my note 5's and gave my wife and I both new s7 edge phones on the galaxy forever plan. I don't think we pay anything for it. If I did, I'm not seeing it on my bill because I was paying around 230 with TMobile now with sprint I'm paying about 135 lol.

Nothing for Tmobile for an update yet. Last we know it went into testing mode 2 weeks ago. Sprint was suppose to roll and update this month for LTE 3 carrier aggression. Who knows when we will get updated now. T-Mobile S7 users on Marshmallow are still on November security patch.

It's all Samsung. Not Sprint. Even the G935U (Unlocked US) have not received the update. Samsung hates Americans, LOL! But really, I don't understand how Apple and Google can update the entire world on the same day and Samsung can't. Even their sorry excuse for voice (S Voice) or Cloud (Samsung non-existent cloud that can't be accessed through an internet site, only your phone....so **** if something happens to your phone...) is disheartening. I miss my Note7. It was running Marshmallow. I would just be happy if Samsung brought the UX to the S7. Same processors, same ram....should've pushed a Touchwiz update a long time ago. But they have our money and they really don't care about the US. We are a speck of their Asian customers with their billions in population. Plus, the FTC has to approve **** here left and right, and then the carrier bull****. They have to make a different update for each carrier and their bloatware. If only I could get the Honor 8 or P9 to work on Sprint, but their network is ****. Maybe the Verizon unlimited plan is exactly what I need.
